Pictures of the aluminum dummy of Galaxy S25 Ultra have been revealed. Samsung is expected to launch its new flagship phones in January next year. The latest leak gives us a closer look at the expected design.

David from @xleaks7 leaked aluminum dummy images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The dummy unit showcases that Samsung will feature its signature design in future flagships. The backplate remains the same, but the corners are getting refined further.

The dummy shows S25 Ultra could have five circular cutouts for the camera setup. The front side has thin symmetrical bezels, while the Infinity-O display exists. The earpiece area is also visible above the punch-hole camera cutout.

The dummy unit measures 162.82 x 77.65 x 8.25 mm, aligning with the CAD renders revealed earlier. This means the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be slightly taller, narrower, and thinner than this year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The camera design remains the same but the ultrawide sensor is upgraded. The S25 Ultra is rumored to come with a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The 3x Telephoto and 5x Periscope sensors could be replicated from the S24 Ultra.

Galaxy S25 Ultra will run Android 15-based One UI 7.1 out of the box. Samsung is said to be working on improving system animation and fluency. It will include additional features and enhancements over the Android 15-based One UI 7.

Samsung will host the Developer Conference 2024 in California tomorrow. Every year, the company has unveiled new One UI iterations at SDC. Things are not the same this year whether Samsung will unveil One UI 7 at SDC24 is uncertain.

The company tech giant announced to “celebrate a decade of open innovation and collaboration with developers, partners, and customers with a focus on how to make the most of today’s AI innovation.”

The South Korean tech giant will highlight the latest cross-platform innovation opportunities including ways to leverage SmartThings, Galaxy AI, Knox, and Tizen for next-generation solutions for developers.

Galaxy AI is set to take center stage at tomorrow’s Developer Conference. Samsung hasn’t mentioned One UI anywhere in its SDC24 press releases so far. It also raises concern what are Samsung’s plans for this year’s One UI upgrade.

We assume that Samsung has some fruitful announcements about One UI 7 for SDC24. Galaxy S24 users are eagerly waiting for the Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta Program. However, there’s no sign of the testing activity so far.

Notably, CheckFirm hasn’t spotted any Beta firmware on Samsung’s server. Hence, there’s no certainty whether the company will begin One UI 7 Beta. It makes this year’s SDC important for general Galaxy consumers apart from developers.

It was recently revealed that the Pixel devices will get Android 15 in mid-October. Google is preparing to roll out the Stable update to general consumers. The company has also shifted its Beta trial to QPR of Android 15.
